Amazon: Xbox One & PS4 pre-orders hit peak of over 2,500 per minute
Today, Amazon sent Neowin a press release via email with some more information on its next-gen consoles sales. Most of the info is pretty vague but it's clear that Amazon's Video Games division had a big week last week thanks to Xbox One and PS4 pre-orders. According to Amazon it had the biggest pre-order week ever for its Video Games store, adding, "Day-one pre-orders for the two consoles was nearly two times that of all video games sales on Black Friday last year (2012)."
Amazon went on to add that for the week of E3 2013, the number of orders on Amazon's Video Games website increased by over 4,000 percent compared to E3 2012. Nintendo announced more details about its Wii U console last year at E3 but did not actually launch pre-orders for the console at that time.
The only real concrete info Amazon offered in its press release this week was this statement, "In fact, at the peak of demand last week, Amazon customers were pre-ordering more than 2,500 Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles per minute." That's a lot of consoles being bought, no matter how you look at it.
